Welcome to My Desert – The Story Behind Desert Bivouac
Ferbuary 2026
My name is Ismail. I was born and raised near M’Hamid El Ghizlane, the last village before the great Sahara begins.
The desert is not a destination for me.
It is home.
As a child, I walked across the same sands where my guests now take their first steps into the Sahara. I grew up with campfire stories, camels at sunrise, and stars bright enough to light the night.
Desert Bivouac is not just a business.
It is my way of sharing my desert with you.
Today I offer three different camps, because every traveler is different. Some want comfort close to the village. Others want deep silence. And some want the magic of the Sahara with luxury.
Let me guide you through my three camps.
1. Bivouac El Mezouaria – Your First Step into the Desert (7 km from M’Hamid)
Only 7 km from the village, yet far enough to feel the shift. El Mezouaria is perfect for first-time desert travelers, families, and short stays.
Comfortable tents. Outdoor showers. Warm Moroccan meals prepared fresh on site. Sunset walks. Star-filled nights.
It is simple. Authentic. Peaceful.

2. Bivouac Chegaga – Deep in the Sahara (60 km from M’Hamid)
Chegaga is where the desert truly begins.
60 km from the village, surrounded by vast dunes and silence. The journey itself becomes part of the adventure.
Here you experience:
- Bigger dunes
- Deeper silence
- Brighter stars
- True disconnection
This is the Sahara in its purest form.

3. Chegaga Luxury Camp – My Vision of Desert Comfort
For travelers who want more comfort, I created Chegaga Luxury Camp.
Beautiful tents. Comfortable beds. Privacy. Attention to detail. Personal hospitality.
Still the desert. Still the silence.
Just with an extra layer of comfort.
No matter which camp you choose, the desert changes you.

And I will be there to welcome you.
